Food supplements to improve gut function

Intestinal function is an essential part of the body's overall health and can benefit from specific dietary supplements to support it. These supplements may contain a variety of formulas designed to support the gut microflora and improve digestion.

Good bacteria

In 2002, the World Health Organisation, together with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, published an official definition of probiotics (good bacteria): "Probiotics are live micro-organisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, benefit the health of the consumer through their action on the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract and directly through the immune system."

Dietary fibre

Dietary fibre is a carbohydrate of plant origin, i.e. a nutritional material for good bacteria, which helps them to establish themselves more quickly in the gut and to provide good conditions for their nutrition. These substances are not digested or absorbed by the human small intestine and are broken down by the microflora of the large intestine. Different strains of bacteria require different fibrous foods.

Causes of indigestion

Digestive disorders can have a variety of causes, which may manifest themselves differently in each person. Some of the most common causes of indigestion include:

1. Unbalanced diet: a poor diet, eating too quickly or eating too little food can cause digestive problems. Lack of certain nutrients or the body may react to certain foods.
2. Stress: stress can have a significant effect on the digestive system. It can cause bloating, abdominal pain and other digestive problems.
3. Poor water consumption habits: insufficient water intake can lead to constipation and difficulty digesting food.
4. Chronic diseases: chronic diseases such as ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease can cause persistent digestive problems.
5. Medical products: some medicines, including antibiotics or painkillers, can have side effects on the digestive system.
7. Poor lifestyle: sedentary lifestyles, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can adversely affect the digestive system.
8. Hormonal changes: hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menstruation can also affect the digestive process.

It is important to understand that digestive problems can be caused by a number of factors and it is important to consult a doctor or dietician if symptoms are persistent or worsen. Individual treatment may vary depending on the diagnosis and causes.

Regulation of intestinal activity

Dietary supplements that contain ingredients that help regulate bowel activity may be useful for those who have problems with bowel motility or need help with digestion.

Advice on taking dietary supplements for the gut:
